dj, how’s the storm in your neck of the woods?
Yes….thanks for checking in, with dj.
Please check in, dj! I’m worried about you driving on icy roads.
Let us know you’re safe and having pizza in the tub 😂

If the jalapenos don't have enough oomph, I'll get into my stock of Hatch Valley Chiles. (Them's the REAL deal.)
Oofda. Almost a shame to spend one on a lousy cold, except that nobody in the family seems to get one unless they've got kids in grade school bring the stuff home and get it knocked down in a day or less.
The twins are getting bored with having everybody else in their class getting sick. Their Mom says they've started teaching each other to read to the point they've run through all the KG "readers" and halfway through to 2nd grade level.
Last time they were at The Homestead, those two were certainly eyeballing my bookcases. Got some Winnie the Poo and some other early reader stuff in there they look like they'd like to tackle.
Sheesh. Anybody getting sick of me bragging about my pretty little prodigies?
Some truckers in support of the border blockade will take their protest to Edmonton
Exit, here’s my opinion of EVERY conservative up here:
They all make me sick. Every single one of them did nothing to stand against our Bill C4. It is a bill that says gender is fluid, heterosexuality is not in any way superior or preferred, etc. It also makes any conversion therapy against the law. So if your son or daughter, after being exposed to this transgender swill, decides to act on it, a parent is not allowed to get help setting them straight. Nobody is allowed to offer such help, nobody is allowed to seek it.
Every single one of them have seen that it’s now politically expedient to swing over to the side of the uprising, but they have ALL, except Leslyn Lewis gone along with every lockdown and mandate for two years. Nobody has stood against this stuff except Maxime Bernier, who was the lone voice right from the get-go. Leslyn Lewis was against a lot of the tyranny, but she tread carefully for fear of being removed from the Conservative party. She also did nothing to stop bill C4.
Maxime Bernier is the leader of the PPC - The People’s Party of Canada (not to be confused with the CCP lol). I voted for him last time around as well, even though we were all warned about “splitting the vote on the right”. Our Conservatives are your Rinos. I no longer care about splitting the vote on the right. If all we’re getting is a liberal calling himself a conservative, what’s the difference?
Bernier is the closest thing we have to a Trump at the moment.
Lol, pizza in the tub, dj knows how to live!
You have every right to brag. I lent my grandson a really old version of “The Call of the Wild” and he said he couldn’t get into it. 😒
This world is getting sicker every day.
It is, Rusty.
I fear for our kids and grands. I’m glad I have far fewer years ahead of me than behind.
“My nephew asked his teacher (years ago) why she belonged to a union....was it to protect her from being overworked? She said, No....it’s to protect us from parents. And, again....this was YEARS ago.”
Teachers belonged to unions because they had NO choice. Funds were automatically taken out of their pay checks. I know because my husband was a teacher and a principle.
That teacher had no right to speak to him in that way.
Agree….just like employees who worked for Fortune 500 type companies had NO choice but to pay into the absurd annual United Way campaigns.
I had fees/“donation” amounts withheld, that I NEVER signed up for. When I requested the fee be put back, I was pressured, heavily, that I’d be the only one NOT donating and keeping our office from “participating”.
I still refused.
Our district manager donated $1, in my name, again, against my wishes. Just to keep our office in “compliance”.
I can only imagine the pressure unions could put on someone/these teachers. Several who are my family members.
I know. It’s good your grands are being homeschooled. And I’m really happy your son is seeing the light. Both my sons are very conservative and are Trump supporters. My daughters both live by conservative values, but don’t get involved in politics.
Over the years I have found teachers to be the most gullible and controllable people around. They spout whatever they’re told to spout. Here’s a breathtaking example:
A friend’s daughter is a teacher (a woke Christian). We were having a conversation about 4 years ago at the lake, so nice and relaxed. She’s a nice person, but you can tell she thinks she’s so much smarter than ordinary “parents”.
So, she was talking about a couple of her students who were saying they were the opposite sex from what they are. I said that there is no such thing as transgenderism, and that you’re born male or female, as scripture says. So, this is what she came back at me with:
She mentioned the condition where a baby is born with both sets of genitalia....hermaphroditism. I said that this is so rare, and so obviously something gone wrong, that it needn’t even enter the discussion. She told me that one in ten babies are born with this condition. The doctors and nurses don’t say anything, they whisk the baby away and do a quick surgery to make the baby one or the other, then return the baby to the mother without saying anything.
I was stunned. I thought she must be kidding. She wasn’t. She said this is what the Ministry of Education had made them aware of. I just laughed - couldn’t help it. So a baby is given a quick surgery....doing what to the baby? And the parents don’t wonder where their baby is? And there’s no stitches? No marks? Good grief. This is someone teaching kids.
Tucker had a cute t-shirt on his show, tonight. It said I Love ❤️ Trucker s
I hope someone will be like that with me when I’m well into my older years!
This is true Spunky.
I went to visit my daughter in Oregon when my grandson was in 1st grade, and his school had a program where they only had classes in Spanish half the day (in a town that had few, if any, Spanish speaking people). Poor little guy cried everyday. I went to a school meeting about it, and there was a lot of unhappy parents. I asked a Spanish teacher why, and why Spanish. She said because if they didn’t have the program she wouldn’t have a job.
My daughter got him into a better school until she moved to Texas, now in Wisconsin.
Good for you!
OMG, their telling them 1 in 10 have that condition, and they believe it?
You just keep on bragging.
